Boss: Well? What do you have to say for yourself?
Me: Sorry….I forgot to listen
@Smooheed
Had a boss who said something like that to me many yrs ago.
My answer was, I guess I fucked up.
He was speechless for a bit and then said, OK, thanks for your honesty. Try to learn from it then.
End of meeting.
